A hard disk drive is a data storage device that stores information in the form of magnetic particles on concentric circles called tracks on one or more rigid disks called platters. It consists of platters, read/write heads, and motors that spin the platters and position the heads. Hard drives store operating systems, software, and files and come in various capacities ranging from 10GB to multiple terabytes. Common interface types are IDE, SATA, and SCSI and hard drives can fail due to issues like no operating system, cable problems, or not being detected.

- 4. Main components for Hard disk drive • Disk platter • Stepper motor • Spindle motor • Read and write head • Arm
- 5. DISK PLATTER 1. The platter is made up of a magnetic material, in the flat disk part of the drive. 2. The data stored in the platter. 3. Each set of magnetic particles is collection a unit called a bit. 4. New hard-drive technology uses thin-film metals and glass platters to increase efficiency and drive storage capacity. STEPPER MOTOR 1. Use stepper motors for controlling read/write head position. 2. Stepper motors usually use +12V power, but some new low- power drives use +5V power source. SPINDLE MOTOR 1. It control the platter. 2. Ithis motor rotates at a speed of 3600 to 10,000 r.p.m. 3. All the platter moves in the same direction.
- 6. READ AND WRITE HEAD 1. The heads read and write the information to the drive platter. 2. The head writes magnetic information on the platter. HEAD ARMHEAD ARM 1. Used for read and write operations. Disk structures (A) Track (B sector (C) Cylinder (D) Storage capacity
- 7. Track : The HDD is divided into number of concentric circlues called tracks. Circular path in sector is called track. Sector : Data storage area in one track multiple divided into the multiple block is called sector. Each sector can have 512 bytes of the data. Cylinder: A set of corresponding tracks in all sides of a hard disk is called cylinder. Storage capacity: Its having a fourmula shown below: storage capacity=number of cylinder’s*tracks per cylinder* sector per tracks*bytes per sector.

- 9. Partition for HDD 1.Primary Partition: •Windows operating systems must be located in a primary partition. • Only primary partitions can be used to boot the operatingsystem. 2.Extended Partition: •A hard disk may contain only one extended partition. •the extended partition can be subdivided into multiple logical partitions (Other than OS is a Extended Partition). 3.Logical Partition: •Linux operating systems can be installed into (and run from) logical partitions. 4.Active Partition: •Only one partition on a computer can be set as an active partition or bootable partition. •For example, if you are using Microsoft Windows the partition that contains Windows is the active partition.

File system in HDD 1.FAT (File Allocation Table) 2.NTFS (New Technology File System FAT NTFS Its not a security Its a security Partition size is max 32GB Partition size is 1 (Tera Bytes) Does not support data compersion It support data compersion Does not support disk quota Its support disk quota Window os conformability (95,98.ms-dos) Window os conformability ( 2000,xp ,vista,win 7 )
- 11. TYPES OF INTERFACEING IN HDD They are three types of interfacing in hard disk •IDE •SATA •SCSI IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) / PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment) 1. It has a 40 pin connector. 2. Data transfer rate is 133mbbs. 3 .when installed this type of hard drives ensure that the jumpers are correctly configured. 4. If you have two devices connected to one IDE controller. ( one must be set to master and the other must be set to slave).
- 12. IDE data cable and connector in HDD
- 13. SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) 1.It has a 7pin connector. 2.It is the latest high-speed type of hard drive connectors. 3.Data transfer rate is 300Mb/s. As there are faster than old IDE interface. 4. the latest hard drives are using this type of interface. 5. As there are faster than old IDE interface. SATA socket, power connector and data cable If the motherboard have the SATA connectors/sockets as shown the picture.
- 14. SATA HDD power connector. . SATA Data cable for HDD
- 15. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) 1.It has a 50 or 68 pin connector. 2.The data transfer rate is 600Mb/s . 3.These require a SCSI adapter card connected into the system. 4.Nowadays, most desktop computers did not use the SCSI.

- 17. HDD Capacity and Size Information When pure chasing a hard disk drive, the term megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes may be confusing terms. The following table gives you an example of each of these terms and how they compare to other sizes.

Also, 1 MB = 1,000 KB, etc.
